Setting up data driven tests with Java tools
summary
Shows a concrete setup using JUnit 5, Maven verify and Testcontainers to spin up Oracle Free images (starts ~10–30s) and run real DB tests instead of H2; uses DbUnit XML datasets or YAML and Database Rider and DbUnit annotations to load initial state and assert expected state with a diff, including inserts and PL/SQL paths. Demo runs end-to-end, intentionally fails once to show diagnostics, then passes — plumbing code is reduced and works with Spring Boot.
